Status on the Searches of Neutrino Magnetic Moment at the Kuo-Sheng Power Reactor
Abstract
The TEXONO collaboration has been built up among scientists from Taiwan and China to pursue an experimental program in neutrino and astro-particle physics. The flagship efforts have been the study of low energy neutrino physics at the Kuo-Sheng Power Reactor Plant in Taiwan. The Reactor Laboratory is equipped with flexibly-designed shieldings, cosmic veto systems, electronics and data acquisition systems which can function with different detector schemes. Data are taken during the Reactor Period June-01 till April-02 with a high purity germanium detector and 46 kg of CsI(Tl) crystal scintillator array operating in parallel. A threshold of 5 keV has been achieved for the germanium detector, and the background level comparable to those of Dark Matter experiments underground is achieved. Based on 62/46 days of analyzed Reactor ON/OFF data, a preliminary result of (μnue / 10-10 μb)2 = - 1.1 2.5 can be derived for neutrino magnetic moment μnue. Sensitivity region on neutrino radiative decay lifetime is inferred. The complete data set would include 180/60 days of ON/OFF data.
